Wrong forum Heating Controls

[Jay1981]

I have a heating control that I want to change, It's called a TRAC control. The problem with it is it only turns on manually because the round timer clock buttons are stuck. My question is, can I go out and buy any heating control and fit it on or does it have to be another TRAC control? It works off the oil and heats the rads and boiler.

I recently had the same problem. I called this heating and plumbing guy and he told me to check out SEI site for a grant to upgrade the heating controls.

I did, applied for the grant, Thomas did an excellent job and the grant covered the majority of the cost. I now have an excellent electronic dual heating and boiler control system that cost me next to nothing. I had to pay up front and had the grant money within about 5 weeks.

You have to use one of the approved suppliers but the SEI website has a list of them so you can get a local supplier or one who comes recommended.
